Chasen at home riding his pony he got from papa

This past weekend we did Christmas with Ean's family and the boys had so much fun playing and dancing together.

My Head is Spinning

Chasen is changing daily at the speed of light every time I turn around he has learned or done something new.
His ever emerging personality is so much fun and a little overwhelming at times.
There is no reasoning with a toddler!!!

- He is 2'8 weighing in at 27lbs still has his chunky thighs which are extremely ticklish!! But, his face is thinning out and looking more like a boy then a baby.

- still no new teeth although one poked through and went back down, it has been quite the cranky battle with these teeth and I hear eye teeth are worse.

- He is sleeping through the night on a consistent basis (when he isn't sick)

- He can say "uts tat" (whats that) and he only says it when you are holding him and he points at stuff and whispers it in your ear its so cute
my mom and eans mom have both heard him say puppy when he saw smaller dogs and he says dahh for kevin.

- He is very good at shaking his head no and whining when you do something he doesn't like or put his coat on, put him in the car seat, lay him down for bed.... EVERYTHING gets a head shake.
- If you do something he likes he SHRIKES with excitement and its the best when he does it when I come to pick him up from daycare...warms my heart!

- he loves rocking in his rocking chair next to daddy while they watch tv

- He tries to mimic what we say, we are working on animal sounds

- and he is learning to eat with a fork and spoon

there is just so much going on!!!! But I have so much fun with him everyday!

Chasen has also had another ear infection after we stopped going to the chiro once or twice a week he got another one.
So we decided that it was best to go visit the ENT instead of paying to take him to the chiro 2x's a week, which would end up being twice as expensive and is a pain to take him that often.
After being evaluated by the ENT they determined that he indeed has fluid in his ears and they want to do tubes. We also talked with him about the fact that the kid has had a runny nose and cough since birth ( which did not go away after being adjusted at the chiro)and he said once they have him under they will look at his adenoids and probably take them out to!
I really don't want to put him under and struggled with the idea but I think in the long run it will be best.
His surgery is scheduled for Jan 28th and my mom is coming down the 29th to stay home with him although the Dr. said he could go to school the next day.(yes we call daycare school!)
So that's whats new with the little man.

Sledding

Here are some pictures of Chasen sledding on Christmas!
Im hoping it gets "warm" (30's) again so we can go sledding at home and use the sled he got for his birthday! Looks like it might get back up to 30 this weekend.





well this past weekend was our last weekend to travel until feb.
THANK GOD!!!

Another New Years With our BFF's -1, + 2

The last couple of years we have made it a tradition to ring in the new year with Britton and Jordan and Kirsten. Unfortunately Kirsten couldn't make it but Marshall and Chasen joined the party which lasted 4 days!!
We got to spend 4 days in Kansas with them and they got a preview of what there life will be like in a few moths and I got to test out being a mother of two....and decided it would be best to wait until Chasen is 25 to have the second child ;] lol
Just kidding, but man it will be lots of work!
While Chasen was asleep we snuck in some pics of the boys together
and while chasen wasn't asleep he enjoyed playing in Marshalls bassinet.
If you asked him where the baby was he would go over to and rock it, or push it around the house, we joked that Marshall needed a seat belt!
"we should bunk our beds so we have more room for activities!!" (step brothers)

noooooooo I don't want a younger sybling!

but I do want his bottle
Chasen was being really naughty/a whiner and wouldn't do anything for Ean or I but then he sat on Brittons lap while she read him stories!

On NYE we watched the hangover and it took almost 2 hours or more because Britton and I kept talking and Jordan and Ean would get mad cause they couldn't hear and paused it till we were done! Hey we had a lot to catch up on:)
We stayed awake till about 11:30 when people started to fall asleep, I cleaned up woke Ean up at 11:59, Kissed and went to bed at 12:05. We left Jordan and Britton on the couch!

Kevin being his cute little self
Jordan and Marshall on his first New Years!
